I like this card because it uses colors I don't think I've ever used together. It also uses a new-to-me technique, thanks to Mrs. A at the Butterfly Challenge. She calls this a window card and uses a sentiment inside the folded paper element. I liked the paper too much and decided to show more of it. The butterfly (a Simon Says Stamp diecut) is embossed with a Tim Holtz wood grain EF, and it really does look like a bit of wood there.
Off-topic questions, but since you all blog, do you ever get days with massive numbers of visitors to your blog? Last week there was a day when I had 335 views -- with is like 25 times a normal day. What gives?
This card is entered in these challenges:

I love that stripe/pattern paper too and agree it would have been a shame to hide with the sentiment. Great idea with the woodgrain embossing folder with the butterfly. Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel with me. Hugs Mrs A.

Love that design, always looking for ideas to use both sides of double sided paper. Nice touch of using the woodgrain folder for the butterfly too! Thanks for joining us at Can You Handle the Pressure.
